Let the PMO know 41 years of unborn child-killing in Canada is 41 years too many.

May 14, 2010 marks 41 years since the Parliament of Canada passed Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau's omnibus bill removing criminal sanctions for abortion in Canada under certain circumstances (these included the emotional health of the mother, abortionspeak for 'for any reason at all'). Since that time, it is estimated that nearly 4 million unborn babies have been killed by abortion, depriving Canada of the invaluable contributions they may have made to society.

Last year, pro lifers across Canada sent in empty red envelopes reminding Prime Minister Harper of the tragedy of abortion, and the Kelowna Right to Life Society is encouraging people to do the same this year.

Sending in an empty envelope with the message, "This envelope represents one child lost to abortion. It is empty because that child was not permitted to contribute anything to this nation" is a simple and inexpensive way for anyone to make a positive contribution for the pro life cause. No postage is required to send mail to Canadian MPs, and people are encouraged to send an envelope to their local MP as well.

Red envelopes are available for purchase at Staples office centres in a variety of shapes and sizes, or for pick up at the Kelowna Right to Life office on Springfield Road. They can also easily be made by printing this simple template out onto a sheet of red paper.
